Sounds like a good solution, at least to my ears :-) > As it is, though, I've switched to Ruby for my own programming work.

Noone wants to read unindented code, but I understand the difficulties you are talking about. At work I am programming without a braille device at the moment and that is not the easiest way, but I can handle it... thank you emacspeak. > Not to mention the fact that, even if it was, the standard in Ruby > seems to be *2* spaces, a much more useful thing. I can imagine another work-around for problems like that. What about writing code without indentation and running a script afterwards, which indents it propperly? Same works for the different direction. Take some indented code and unindent it, so you can handle it. Any opinions? Regards, Christian
